Home sweet home and city, my beloved city. Although I have always loved travelling Jyväskylä has a still precious and special place in my heart. These pictures are taken during the last summer, the summer of 2009. There's not many of them but somehow everyone of these takes me back to the nice moments and places 3... read more

If you live a country like Finland, there is almost no option do you appreciate spring or not. Except those who suffer from allergies almost all the finns are great fans of spring and many things related to that. The Sun is finally shining and I could not be more happy about that. Especially after my time in Singapore spring feels great, it's like I'm getting my energy back. Growing flowers and grass, Eastern, birds, refheshing rain, umbrellas and the smell on spring inspires me the most. Although I don't draw and paint anymore (...) all the colors of spring kind of wake me up again. Onw thing I also like is the high heels and what would be more better reason to find my old loves again (and buy some new ones as well) than ... read more

Don't even start to dream about budget accommodation when thinking about Don Phi Phi islands. We did but we needed to forget those thoughts and stay in real. Our hostel's (or actually it was The Inn, what's the difference anyway?!) location was in Krabi which was both the easy touchdown point to Phi Phi and place to relax, shop and sightsee as well. Phi Phi's beauty wasn't big surprise at all. Like almost everyone knows already it's been in the movies and it's the topic of conversation for travelers all over Thailand. The other side of this allure was that the place was not laid-back or desert at all.. and our Phi Phi Islands Tour by speed boat was highly priced. Well not so after a hard bargaining but the most expensive thing we did during ... read more

After our travels through Cambodia and Vietnam we stopped for couple of days in Bangkok, to calm down if I can say so when speaking about Bangkok.. and did some last minute shoppings before heading down to the paradise islands. I felt I needed some place to relax and fix my head since I have started to wake up in the mornings with the feeling "where am I" and sometimes during the day I might wonder which place we were yesterday.. so we decided to head to somewhere just to R-E-L-A-X. This was the very first time for us to go to the Thai islands so randomly we just picked up one, which happened to be Koh Samui located South -Western Thailand. For sure we read some info from the island and heard some stories but ... read more

Da Nang is the fourth largest and a major port city in the South Central Coast of Vietnam and Hoi An is a small city almost next to it. We wanted to stop some smaller cities along our way from Saigon to Hanoi and Da Nang has been told to have numerous sites of natural beauty and historical interest. Also the landscapes I saw from the train's window were breathtaking, so green and so lush, people working on the rice fields with those hats, so synonymous to Vietnam. Night train from Saigon was.. hmm.. interesting but not a bad experience, to lay down when traveling was the first (but not the last) time experience for me. I did not sleep that much, but the beautiful sunset and sunrise at the next morning were absolutely something worth ... read more
